hey guys,

I just bought a 1200 sedan with rego purely because it was such a good price I couldn't say no.
It needs a bit of work to get it presentable but I dont expect any of that work to cost big $$ just a bit of time.

Currently I'm restoring and building my turbo ute, this is my priority and I have a regular daily driver.

Im wondering what I should do with this sedan?
I quite like it but cant really justify or see the logic of having 3 cars!

My original plan was to tidy it up and sell it on for a small profit but sedans are so cool I'm trying to think of a reason/justify keeping it.

I suggested to a friend going halves in it + the build and getting into cheap amateur rallys... nothing serious at all just fun but thats prob more time and work than just tidying it up for street use.

what do you guys think? anyone else bought a another datto half way through a project?

Create carbon panels for everything, seam weld all joints, plexiglass everything, weight reduce everything, through ca18det in, enter WTAC.

seam welded, cage, bucket seat, harness, hot A motor = Hill Climbs & Autocrosses!! Fairly cheap, and a lot less hassle than rallying!

photos please

leave engine stock, tidy up/restore interior and body. fit some shortened 1200 coupe/120Y struts, slam the ass and spend $2000 on some mad dog 14x7 & 14x7.5 SSR's, Work equips or good quality Japanese wheels and tyres.
Do a few laps of Nth Bridge, the cott on Sundays and Freo on uni night, get your end wet for a few months, then sell it for a profit.

Just tidy it and sell. Otherwise lower wheels and enjoy the room over a cramped Ute cabin. Or sell Ute and convert this lol

+1 for ditch the ute and build the sedan. sedans are way cool!

Restore it an have it jap style.

I am starting to consider putting the ute back together nice and standard to use as a runner/carry motorbikes around and put this turbo build into the sedan...

The only issue I can see is fitting a H165 diff in my sedan.
I have a spare (noisy) diff from the ute I might try to get that into the sedan
